Irreparable Harm - Melissa F. Miller
| Meet Sasha McCandless, Russo-Irish-American lawyer for what pretty much has to be the only white-shoe firm in Pittsburgh, PA. When one of the firm’s biggest clients, a hometown airline, suffers a major incident; Sasha’s on the case like white on rice. Little does she know that an evil tech guru brought down the company’s airliner with a bit of electronic wizardry and some good old-fashioned chicanery. As Sasha sashays from office to courtroom to suburban DC, along the way she picks up an Asian-American air marshal and a posse of Ukrainian hitters who’ve somehow figured out that she knows too much. Luckily for Sasha, the 5-foot-0 97-pound lawyer found time during all those 80-hour work weeks every lawyer (supposedly) works to become world-class in krav maga, capable of disarming and beating up not just big goons but also trained lawmen. Must be nice… |
